It had the classic wing so we couldn’t do westbound transcons a lot of the time without redispatching. I was always told the wing was the issue as opposed to the engines, but who knows? (For a minute I thought Aloha ran them to Hawaii out of Burbank, but I checked and those were ETOPs -700s)
we didn’t have -400’s. The 500’s had like 137. You talking “we” like US Air?…just remembered you’ve been round the block.
